Behaviour of Killie fans at the end of the game

Elsewhere someone posted that the events of today might influence SSC to leave. The reaction of the fans is likely to have exactly the opposite effect and give him pause for thought about staying. I thought the singing at the end was magnificent and it made me proud to me a Killie fan.

Hopefully can still get out the passport for Europe with stevie clarke at the helm

Mind when we lost to hibs not long after he arrived, and the players were applauded off.

Not saying the on field performance was similar. But the reaction at the end when we (and by we, I mean those in my general vicinity) decided to stand and applaud from the moment McKenzie got his walking papers. And it only got louder as that <expletive> ref finally decided to end his farcical performance.

1st time in my life supporting killie from the late 60s a killie crowd doing that extra ordinary

Even Derek McInnes commended the Killie support in his post match interview. 

As for the referee needing an escort to his car, its much more likely that it was precautionary, or perhaps its always done. What would matter is if there was any evidence that he was threatened. 

I do wonder if the Dundee fans will be rescinding their complaint now.

Good home support but I thought the away support was very poor, barely heard them all game despite them winning. 

In all fairness what did they have to cheer?? Aberdeen were absolutely abject and if it wasn’t for the decisions of McLean they looked like a draw would have been a good result for them.

What is it with Aberdeen and getting refs to have an absolute howler?

Thought today was probably the worst I've seen going back more than 50 years.  The game was getting out of hand in the middle of the first half with Cosgrove charging about like a headless bull (apologies to the chicken) but at the same time managing to fall over from some invisible contact.  Sadly I'd just said that either Cosgrove or Broadfoot was going to get sent off when it happened but not in the kind of circumstances I'd expected.

It reminded me of a cup tie in the 60s, aye against Aberdeen, when our friend Tiny (Tiny Wharton a giant of a referee whose style might be described as lumbering - for those of more tender years) had a howler and the fans were baying for his blood by the end of the match.  The next day it was reported in the press that Tiny was given a police escort out of the town because of the number of angry fans hanging about outside the park after the match. 

Hope no ref ever tries to match that after today's showing.

Yep. Said the same. 

Any decent ref would've pulled those 2 aside together and gave them a warning to stop being dicks.

I was there and remember it well....although is my recollection correct that we ‘scored’ a goal but the ball rebounded from the staunchion (ask your elderly relatives) back into play and they raced up the park and scored? Cue rage. Wharton had the tyres of his motor detached when parked in the car park during a home game with Airdrie.

It is quite obviously a plan employed by McInnes that his players employ such tactics. Cosgrove was an embarrassment today and one of the worst was him going down holding his head when Greg Taylor had been 2 yards away. Obviously Del  knew he was lucky to be on the park and subbed him at HT. 

Looking at Broadfoot challenge it was a genuine attempt for the ball and perhaps deserved a yellow. if it had been any other player on the park it would have been a yellow but Kirk has a reputation so its gotta be a RED. Of course ref was surrounded by Abadeen players who,once again , influenced the refs decision.

Defo the worst refs showing in a very very long time.

Simple decision for ref. He either stands up to their tactics and takes action quickly by booking someone or he lets them away with it and game gets out of hand. he did he later.

My recollection of the goal Forrest raced up the park to score (at the Rugby Road end) was that it was it followed a Killie player being brought down in the box and half our team either standing still or questioning the ref, as it looked like a stick on penalty.  Tiny did hee haw just let play continue while Aberdeen just carried on and scored.  It was a poor response from the team that let the Dons score the goal but it was seen by the fans as just another consequence of Tiny's oft inexplicable refereeing.

There was the Don McVicar game in 1994 too.

That game came back to mind after today's events,  was trying to remember the ref in question but couldn't mind his name until I saw your post.

 

As for the behaviour of the fans today ... I think the very vocal reaction was a collective "f**k you" reaction to the antics of Aberdeen and the ref today, especially right at the end ... great to hear/see ....

Think I recall 3 Killie players being red-carded v Ayr at RP in an Ayrshire Cup game...probably 80's. I don't remember any other time seeing 3 players getting sent off from one team in one game before. 

Motherwell early 2000s. Play acting about getting belted in the face, going on for one of them too. Locke put his hand on Derek Adams' chest, and Adams grabbed his face as if he'd been belted in the mooth.

 

Quote

Locke had been trying to hold off Derek Adams in midfield, but Freeland decided it was violent conduct and showed a straight red.

Ten minutes later, Killie were down to nine men when Andy McLaren picked up his second booking for dissent.

Sanjuan became the third Killie player to be sent off after he tugged Lasley back when the player was going clear on goal.

The legendary Rusty  Harkness was third man off. He came on as a sub, booted the first Ayr player he could find and was promptly sent off. Only time I’ve seen a player with his head gone who hadn’t even been on the pitch. Or he was just delivering justice Hurlford style...

I believe the stewards escort was considered necessary as based on his performance that afternoon, he was unlikely to find his car & end up wandering around the car park for the rest of the evening in a daze, making increasingly bizarre decisions & trying to unlock its reflection in the Sports Bar window.

I haven't broke a smile since that refereeing performance but that gave me a chuckle
